Do YOU know where your puppy came from?

 

Please help us protect our breed by dealing only with members of the AKC Parent club for Brussels Griffons: - American Brussels Griffon Association - Membership in this club is dependant upon many requirements including the signing of a strict Ethics in Breeding Agreement*. *also referred to as 'Guidelines For Responsible Practices'. Our members are dedicated to preserving our beloved breed and to breeding solely to improve it. We vehemently oppose those who participate in and/or support the mass production of dogs in large quantities for sale to pet stores, wholesalers, brokers, auctions.  These individuals are  often referred to as: "Puppy Mills or Puppy Millers." We are also opposed to those who produce poorly bred puppies in their backyards for sale to the general public.  These individuals are often referred to as "Backyard Breeders" who breed for profit rather than with the goal of improving their breed through careful, well thought-out breeding programs.
